She then cries and laughs as she pulls the disassembled gun out of the packaging, inspecting each piece.

A Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon costs approximately $3063.

While Presley and her father are clearly overjoyed, the reaction to Beretta's Facebook video - which has been viewed more than 7.9 million times - has been polarising.

"That's America. A place where you cannot buy alcohol or cigarettes if you're not 21 years old but you can easily have your personal gun," Italian Alessandro Alliata wrote.

"A world where people have such an emotional reaction to a device which only purpose is to kill, is sick in my opinion. The message this sends is so wrong," Pascal Gerlach added.

"This is highly disturbing. Did you realise that children like this one and toddlers have killed more innocent Americans than the Syrian refugees have in the last 10 years?" Kellen Lignier said.

"If this video showed a young Muslim girl being presented with a gift of a firearm you can imagine the collective fury of rednecks," Richard Wilson commented.

However, some social media users applauded Presley's parents.

"Oh I so enjoy reading comments from anti-gun people who know nothing of the sport or the level of skill and personal discipline that young lady had to show before her parents bought her a tool that will last her a lifetime. Who is to say, after all, that with dedication and practice Presley might not someday follow in the footsteps of another woman who started shooting clays at an early age," Frank Goth wrote.

"Now this is the stuff I love! Way to go, Dad! Sticking tight as a family and raising our children with values and life skills. America," Ryan McGrath said.

"I think it's awesome she is passionate about shooting sports. If you raise them to respect guns, it's no different than buying them a car. Is a car dangerous if you don't know how to use it or fail to abide by the laws, absolutely. Shame on the people saying such nasty things," Catherine Jasin commented.
